But it won't be gone for long.

Those still battling in Blizzard's StarCraft II beta will soon be forced to take a break. According to an official post on Blizzard's forums, the first phase of the beta test will end on Monday, May 31 as the company makes "hardware and software configuration changes."

But it's not the end entirely. Before the game's July 27 release date, the beta test will resume for "a couple of weeks." No word yet on exactly when that might be, but it should be good news for those who want to get in as much multiplayer practice in as possible before the masses surge onto Battle.net.

The beta test initially started back in February, giving players access to the Terran, Protoss and Zerg factions in the multiplayer component of the game. For more, head over to our StarCraft II information hub.
